In actuality, Ha Jin's message is that people should be making the best use of their time as they see it. Furthermore, the memories that a person makes with the people that mean the most to him/her do not need to be written down. Those memories may last forever and may become some of the happiest components of
There is no reason a reader should read this poem and not have a better understanding of the mental illness of schizophrenia and how it affects not only the person but the family as a whole. Both the homes and the families are thought of as a place of safety and love, but in this family, due to a terrible disease, love is hard to find. It is a constant uphill struggle to try and love someone when you can’t help them. Often times, when we can’t help someone, we blame ourselves, which only causes more stress and distance. The line, “It was the house that suffered most.” (Line 1), illustrates that, although the person diagnosed with schizophrenia was probably suffering, it was the family, as a whole, that suffered the most.
The story finally argues that the love of a parent is powerful enough to overlook nature’s flaws. Mario Garcia’s short story, “Poolman”, argues that although society may believe that raising a disabled child is a tragic sacrifice, it is mutually beneficial. The story explains Jose’s devotion to Michael who “needed constant attention, constant vigilance.” Although he was only seven, Jose knew that “there was no end in sight” (Garcia 5). It doesn’t matter to Jose that Michael has disabilities; Jose still has unconditional love for Michael, and he enjoys raising him like how any father would enjoy raising their child. Everything that Michael’s father does is in a positive effort to help Michael to be a normal kid.
Born in Raiding, Germany on October 22, 1811, Liszt piano playing was phenomenal, but more than that he was known to be flashy. He grew up to be inspired by his father Adam.

The explanation suggests that the primary caregiver is responsible for helping the infant overcome its anxieties and if the care is inadequate then a child will not develop a proper sense of self. Therefore during adolescence when threats to the self occur the symptoms of schizophrenia begin to develop. However, the psychodynamic explanation to schizophrenia has many problems, for example: Freud claimed that schizophrenia is caused by over-whelming anxiety and is a defence mechanism involving regression into an early stage of development. Freud suggested that one of the positive symptoms of the disorder, hallucinations are the ego’s attempt to restore contact with reality. However there isn’t any research evidence to support Freud’s theory and psychoanalysis is not an effective treatment for schizophrenia suggesting that the psychodynamic theory does not explain the causes of schizophrenia.
The boys are jolly one moment then sulky and fighting the next. Uncle Willy and Aunt Linda’s relationship is quite strange and everyone in this family is acting like they are hiding a big secret. Uncle Willy was away for the first five days of my visit, but has recently returned from a business trip. He is a travelling salesman. He seems like a very hard working man and is determined to live the American dream.
So, he avoids taking the medication and thereby relapses into his earlier condition. He mentions taking ‘newer’ medications later on which also help him decide between the reality and delusion. At the end of the movie, he is seen to have overcome this disorder by learning to ignore his hallucinations. After watching the movie my views on mental illness have greatly changed. I guess I am guilty about having judgments about someone with schizophrenia.
